    @bunyipdan Pƙed 2 lety +2

    Hi guys, looking fwd to the adventure ........ @21:00 I realise it was a bit of a throwaway line about vinegar but it really isn’t going to be much use vs irukandji, and debatable for box jellies (although I definitely would use it). Vinegar is meant to effect/neutralise the trigger mechanism of the jellyfish’s nematocysts (stinging cells) and by doing so reduce the amount of envenomation ....... it does not effect the potency or effect of the venom, just the potential of delivery.
    Unlike box jellyfish, irukandji are very small, don’t tend to wrap/entangle victim/person, but rather brush past. This is different to box jellies which can have massive long tentacles which often entangle and get stuck on victim. Therefore once you realise (even if you do - very innocuous sting) you have been stung by an irukandji you have already been envenomated ...... vinegar = zero effect (unless it’s tentacles are stuck to your face)
    Just an FYI, not trolling

    • @BacktoBasics

      The salties will walk a long way up a beach or into bushland to get a feed. But when passing through, they're more curious.

    Loving the video, Heads up AZ Vinegar - do not apply that to box jellys etc - You will make things much worse. Vinegar is not the go to treatment, Might be worth reviewing this to stop some bad outcomes FWIW. SLSA has some great info on treatments as a start, but definitely review the use of Vinegar which is best used for food and cooking! Love the Cape spec suggestion! Hope you took multivitamins with you LoL! Thanks for sharing the fun. Stay safe!
